Your client doubts your coaching methods. How can you prove your effectiveness?

I’d start by sharing relevant success stories or case studies that highlight the effectiveness of my methods. Offering a clear outline of how our coaching process works and the results we can expect helps build confidence. I’d also use measurable outcomes and regular progress updates to demonstrate the impact. Inviting feedback and being open to adjusting techniques based on their needs shows flexibility and commitment to their success. Ensuring transparent communication about the process helps reinforce trust in the methods.

Trabajar con personas siempre es un desafío muy enriquecedor. Cada individuo, de acuerdo a su historia personal y sus narrativas, puede interpretar la situación desde diferentes ópticas.

I have found it helpful to create a friendly but professional interaction with my Coaching Clients. I do this by actively listening and mirroring their expressions, which tends to show them I'm paying attention. Next, I find common ground while creating a space for them to share their ideas, opinions and concerns without judgment. I also offer genuine compliments, which tends to show them I am interested in them as individuals.

La prueba social o testimonios dan seguridad a las personas y permiten que el proceso de Coaching se fundamente en la confianza y y la autoridad que el Coach transmite. Adicional, el mismo Coah, con su accionar, con su ejemplo y con su propia vida, debe ser evidencia de coherencia, competencia y confiabilidad, inspirando y alentando a otros a conseguir resultados extraordinarios.

I find that clarity, listening, feedback and evidence that method is successful,- are the easiest ways to reassure a client who may need additional information to feel completely at rest with their decision.

Start by revisiting the client's goals to ensure that you’re both aligned on what they want to achieve. This clarity helps in tracking progress and setting benchmarks for success. By breaking down these goals into measurable steps, you can show how each session contributes to their larger objectives. It's like GPS for personal growth—no more "Are we there yet?" moments!

Like they say, the proof is in the pudding. If a client doubted my coaching methods, I would show them the results of others I have worked with and check with some of my clients if they are willing to have a conversation with the potential clients. It is important to me that a potential client is comfortable with the results I can deliver and won't want to work with someone who isn't sure.

Present concrete evidence of your coaching methods' effectiveness through testimonials, case studies, or data-driven results. Show how similar approaches have worked for other clients in comparable situations. This evidence not only builds credibility but also reassures the client that they’re in capable hands. And if they still need convincing, you can always quip, "If I had a dollar for every success story, well, I'd still be coaching because I love it!"

If doubts persist, be willing to adjust your techniques to better suit the client’s unique needs and preferences. Flexibility in approach demonstrates your commitment to their success and showcases your ability to adapt. Sometimes, a small tweak can make a significant difference, like changing the recipe just slightly for that perfect batch of cookies—except in this case, it’s personal growth we’re baking, not chocolate chips!

I have always found it helpful to adjust my coaching techniques as I go through my sessions. I also continually ask open-ended questions which allows me to consistently gage where my clients' thought process is leading our sessions and balances the conversations.
